The following distinguished gem
tlemen came in from Parkersbnfg
On specisl car Saturday evening,
and spent an hour or two in look
ling over our town: Senators j. G.
Fair, of Nevada aud j. N. Camden,
Col. Geo. w. Thompson, President
of the Ohio River Railroad, Capt.
C. H. Williams, Assistant Super
intendent of the o. R. R. R., Capt.
Chas. B. Smith, Hon. j. B. Neale,
w. NJ. Trevor, j. N. Camden, Jr.,
III. ]. Bandy, all of Parkersburg,
Hon. R. s. Brown, of Ravenswood.
and Hon. Geo. w. Moredock, of
Hartford City. These gentlemen
expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the location of our
town, and predicted bright flu
ture for Point Pleasant. Messrs.
Fair, Camden, Thompson and Neal
have large landed interests here,
and from what Senator Fair said,
he aud his associates would soon
make this town boom.
Col. Sharp, General Manager Of
the K. & 20. Railroad, in his wis,
dom, has seen fit to remove Train
Master, c. M. Hunt, from this place
to Charleston. Capt. Hunt in ODE
dience to orders packed his Office
and proceeded to Charleston on
Saturday last, followed by his esti-
mable wife on Monday. The rea-
son assigned by Col. Sharp for the
removal from this place, is, that he
thinks the Train Master should
have his office at Charleston in or
der to superintend trains, and the
transfer of cars TO the C. & o. above
that place, in person, instead of di-
recting these movements by wire,
from this point. We conceive this
to be a lame excuse, but presume
he knows his business better than
we, or the Directors of the road,
and will not question his motives.
Capt. Hunt during his brief So
journ among us, has by his elicien-
cy, strict attention to business, and
genial manners, endeared himself to
the community, aud it is with re-
greet that We part with him, assn
ring Charleston that what is our
loss, will be her gain, particularly
in point of sociability and general
business qualifications. Mrs. Hunt.
his accomplished wife, has also
made many friends, who are 10th
to part with her. By her rare ac-
complishments and many graces of
form and manners, she has captiv-
ated all with whom she has come
in contact. We but voice the sen,
timents of the entire town, when
we wish them happiness in their
new home, and that their lives
may fall i'll pleasant places. We
trust that it will not be long.
until Col. Sharp will see that he
has committed grievous error in
the removal of this estimable eou-
pie from our midst, and that he
will speedily return them.
